Chatea St. Jean’s life started in 1920, when it was built as a summer home for Ernest and Maude Goff. It is located in Sugarloaf Ridge in the Sonoma Valley near the legendary Kenwood, California. While the 250 acres of land were originally planted with white grapes, Prohibition encouraged the planting of prunes and walnuts instead. When Chateau St. Jean was founded in 1973, the chateau was restored and opened to the public in honor of the Goff family. As the company says, “only the finest” from their wines, and they delivered on that promise in quick time. In 1999, Chateau St. Jean’s 1996 Cinq Cépages Cabernet Sauvignon won “Wine of the Year,” making the chateau the first Sonoma winery to receive this award.

Chateau St. Jean was one of the pioneers in vineyard designation, stressing the importance of a grape’s origin. They didn’t just talk the talk - they took grapes from successful vineyards and made individually labeled Chardonnays, Read more »

Not a big Chardonnay fan but this one makes me rethink that point of view nice with salmon but I bet pork roast would work well too. Nice finish shows lots of fruit and just a hint of oak.

Carnivores and grillers, a few reasons to love Syrah: it’s a fantastic wine for pairing with any roasted meats, especially red meats like beef and lamb, as well as wild game. It is often peppery and sometimes smoky, with a roasted fruit and/or roasted meat flavor profile that makes it a fine accompaniment to anything barbecued or grilled (even, ... Read More

Chateau St. Jean Chardonnay Robert Young Alexander Valley 2010

Snoothrank:

Lots of oak on the nose--I have the feeling that this is one of those California Chardonnays that everybody now loves to hate--some hints of pineapple. Initial palate sensation is nice, refreshing a bit of acid, but it doesn't take long before the vanilla/caramel from the oak takes over. This wine will go better with tonight's grilled chicken ...

Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon California 2009

Snoothrank:

Fresh and fruit driven on the nose if not fruity with red currant and wild herb notes supported by vanilla, dill and coconut oak. Rather fresh on entry, this layers on black cherry and blackberry fruit over well-measured oak that adds some nuanced savory notes without being too assertive. The tannins are a bit dry, which keeps this firm and fres... Read More

Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley Reserve 1987

Snoothrank:

From magnum: Plenty of caramel greets the nose followed by sweet blackberry fruit and earth aromas. This is still rich and round in the mouth and full of very attractive black currant and jammy black raspberry flavors. There's fine balance between the structural component and a complex array of spice and gently herbal notes on the back end. This... Read More
